maccachingpreferences.plist

From: Peter James on 9 Jun 2010 06:51 The past three times I've switched on my iMac, the AppleScript editor has been started, and shows a file headed "maccaching preference.plist". Is there any significance in this happening, and if not how do I stop it? Thanks, Peter -- He spoke with a certain what-is-it in his voice, and I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled. P.G. Wodehouse 1881 -1975

That's where this seems to come from. It's not applescript, btw, it's a normal .prefs file. Why the AppleScript editor has fired up with it is another question entirely - what usually happens when you doubleclick on a prefs file? There are plenty in (your home folder)/Library/Preferences to try. Cheers - Jaimie -- He has a woman's name and wears makeup. How original. -- Alice Cooper on Marilyn Manson
